Socioeconomics associated with metabolic syndrome and osteopenia in postmenopausal women

Updated:5 years, 6 months ago

New Delhi, Apr 23 (ANI): Increased prevalence of metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis in postmenopausal women has prompted multiple research studies to understand the reason. A new study examined the association of socioeconomic status-related factors, unhealthy lifestyles, and diet related factors with the coexistence of metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis in women. Metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis not only adversely affect a woman's quality of life, but they also create a significant financial burden. Previous studies have suggested that these health problems are affected by lifestyle, genetic, metabolic, nutrition, and hormone factors. In particular, smoking has been shown to impair calcium absorption. In addition, an inverse relationship has been identified between metabolic syndrome and the intake of carbohydrates, vitamins (A, C, and D), calcium, fruits, and dairy products. Similarly, has an inverse association with higher intakes of vitamin D, fish, and dairy products. Researchers found that 32.5 per cent of study participants experienced both metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis. Health-related behaviour and diet-related-factors were evaluated to determine their effect on the prevalence of both metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis. Researchers concluded that the coexistence of metabolic syndrome and osteoporosis was positively associated with insufficient dairy intake, lack of physical activity, and higher alcohol consumption. However, the effect was significantly dependent on socioeconomic factors such as education, household income, place of residence, and employment status. Additional research is suggested to identify controllable factors that could enhance the health of postmenopausal women.
